Problem Statement:

Purdue CGT students are unable to effectively measure the value of their portfolios in regards to the quality desired by current industry standards, leaving them unprepared for finding employment post-graduation.

Research Question:

How effective would the addition of an online portfolio review option to the CGTConnect portal be at engaging interaction between students and alumni, as well as retaining users to revisit the site?

Elevator Statement:

For students and alumni who wish to foster a better sense of community within the CGT department, the enhanced and expanded iteration of CGTConnect is a social-networking portal that allows for beneficial interaction and communication. Unlike the existing version, our product enables students to gain insight from alumni on whether or not their work is commensurate with the level desired by industry through an online portfolio review.

As mentioned, these are preliminary and will be finalized within the coming week. Comments/critiques are welcome.

TGIS is actively developing methodology, and gathering our research.  We have identified our problem statement, research question, and elevator statement.  Please see our Project page for more information on those.  We are also working hard at mocking up some future components we plan to implement for our final deliverable on the development side of the CGTConnect website.
